devel/git-branchless 0.11.1 NetBSD

git-branchless is a suite of tools which enhances Git in several ways. It makes Git easier to use, both for novices and for power users. Examples:

• git undo: a general-purpose undo command.
• The smartlog: a convenient visualization tool.
• git restack: to repair broken commit graphs.
• Speculative merges: to avoid being caught off-guard by merge conflicts.
• Patch-stack workflows: strong support for patch-stack workflows as used by the Linux and Git projects, as well as at many large tech companies.
• Prototyping and experimenting workflows: strong support for prototyping and experimental work via divergent development.
• git sync: to rebase all local commit stacks and branches without having to check them out first.
• git move: The ability to move subtrees rather than sticks while cleaning up old branches, not touching the working copy, etc.
• Anonymous branching: reduces the overhead of branching for experimental work.
• In-memory operations: to modify the commit graph without having to check out the commits in question.
• git next/prev: to quickly jump between commits and branches in a stack.
• git sw -i/--interactive: to interactively select a commit to switch to.

It provides faster operations for large repositories and monorepos, particularly at large tech companies.
